Something about Pinyin

In 1{]\ M 1 and 1{]\ M 2, Pinyin is placed on top of the word. In 1{]\ !lf 3, it is placed on top of each individual character. This is to minimize the dependency on Pinyin for characters that have been learned. In 1{]\% 2, we also learned that sometimes a character in a word is said in a neutral tone, rather than its original tone. In this case, the pinyin is displayed in its original tone in 1{]\% 3 for easy learning, but marked with a blue dot to remind you to say it in a neutral tone. e.g. yi tu.

* Asking for a reason

To ask for a reason, use jg{f-i,., why. To answer, use IN jg, because followed by the reason.

Chinese high school students study common subjects such as Chinese, math and foreign languages until year eleven when they choose to focus on either science or arts according to their future study plans. Those who choose science have a heavier focus on physics, chemistry and biology, whereas those who choose arts have a heavier focus on history, geography and politics. The past few years has seen a trend in changing this division to allow students a wider choice of cross-discipline study.

c;__, Chinese painting

The art of Chinese painting is related to the art of calligraphy. The tools for painting are the calligraphy brush and ink. As in other civilizations, early paintings were mainly of human activities and animals for the purpose of communication, moral teachings and religious belief. By as early as the lOth century, Chinese painting started serving a more decorative purpose.

Chinese painters are scholars and masters of calligraphy. They liken the natural scenery to their spiritual mind apart from worldly affairs.
